Excellent Services, Awesome Staff

published

This is really a long overdue review. Last year in May, I went to Beijing to visit my mother. The connection flight from Beijing to Guangzhou was delayed which has caused me missed my flight from Guangzhou back to Melbourne.

The team leader (Ms Wang Dan) on the Beijing to GuangZhou flight was so wonderful. She made sure that everything worked well for me and ensure that I stayed at the nearby hotel for my early morning connection flight. Wonderful lady, thank you so much Ms Wang.

Nothing special unfortunately

published

I was expecting a much better experience. The flight was delayed which is never a good start and when I got on the plane there was a horrible smell. The cost was cheap but I expected a more comfy seat for what I paid.

On Business Lounge. There should be notices at the Water Fountain that customers should use a cup to transfer water to their bottles to safeguard touching the tip of the water machine, instead of placing the bottle to outlets.

Recommended! Perfect service.

published

I flied CZ308 on 10th Oct. 2022 Thanks to very helpful staff, their name is Zhu Chen and Deng Jie. Their spoken English is probably the best I have ever heard. Very patient and helpful. It is my first time to sit in economy class, No big.differences between business class. Top level service. First time to take China Southern to Guangzhou, truly beyond my expectation. Recommended!

perfect experience

published

Book online and fly from Melbourne to Guangzhou! The cabin environment is clean and sanitary. The high-quality service and friendly service attitude of the stewardesses make me feel very comfortable! The plane was bumpy and I felt airsick and sick. I am helpless, but the staff care about me and give me warm water, making me feel as warm as my family! The staff also gave great help to the mother who was alone with the child, helping her to coax the child. This is my first time on this airline! Diet advice. Chicken and rice are a little salty. In short, it was a very satisfactory flight.

Wonderfull cabin crew

published

Booked the ticket through travel agent. And fly on CZ663 from Guangzhou to Adelaide on 11/09/2019.
It tools about 8.5H for the flight and the cabin crew provided remarkably in flight service.
I was impressed by one thing. There was a aged lady around 80 traveled by herself in seat 1G which next to me 1H. The flight attendant Miss Huang showed how pleasant and helpful she was when looked after that aged lady. It was really impressing me.
She is not only showing how professional she is, but also makes good impression for China southern airline.

Warning : Total rip off!!

published

WARNING: Do not fly China Southern Airlines. What looks cheap is cheap. My flight home was cancelled. Stuck in Shanghai needing to be back at work. Refused a substitute flight. Ended up costing me over $800 AUD which was more than the $500 AUD original return ticket. I still have not received the refund for the original cancelled flight.

Floppy system with food handling

published

I took flight from Brisbane to Qingdao CZ3715 and CZ 381 on 5th August. I ordered low calorie meal. It was rather odd I only had the special mean on the way back to Brisbane. On other journeys asked flight attendants some responded “ sorry sir, you didn’t order it” or “ we don’t have curry”.

Non-existent customer service and illogical policy

published

Booked business class return class tickets on their official website but didn't notice the tricks they have. So I ended up with outbound business class and inbound economy class whilst paying almost the full business return fare. They asked me to pay $450AUD penalty on top of the price difference to upgrade to business class for the inbound flight. I'm currently disputing this through NSW Fair Trading whilst I made complaint with ACCC.
